Quote:Greek religion was as much a collection of stories as anything, and since they were so regionalized, attempting to peace together any sort of coherent chronological narrative is just foolhardy. But it makes it even more fascinating!
I look at the "Bible" in the same manner. Genesis is supposed to have been copied off of the walls of Babylon and I have seen some really convincing documentaries regarding the "Great Flood" (also depicted in Babylonian art). Most religions follow the same lines for instance Shintoisim of the Japanese has some really interesting creation stories. The Egyptians as well have some rather descriptive creation stories too. :wink:
